1	5 1st (5) (4/1 +33%) Rich Rhythm		4 4/1(+33%)																															(5) Rich Rhythm 4/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022 but stepped up on recent comeback when respectable third of 12 in a handicap at this C&D 27 days ago, kept on well. Should be in the mix again. Only one win so far but has run well both starts after a long absence; last run worked out.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/4 -38%) Star Pupil		2.75 11/4(-38%)																															(1) Star Pupil 11/4, Career best when winning a 5-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 1/2) 8 days ago, won easily beating out of form rivals. Carries 5 lb penalty but that might not be enough to stop him. Improved effort to win over this trip at Chelmsford a week ago; leading contender.
3	4 3rd (4) (13/8 +54%) Profitman		1.625 13/8(+54%)																															(4) Profitman 13/8, Three wins from 16 runs last year. Good second of 9 in a handicap at Newcastle (8f, 6/1) 10 days ago, conceded first run to winner and arguably a bit unlucky not to collect. Drop back to 7f not a concern and holds leading claims. Knows how to win and ran well at Newcastle last time; 1lb well in and big chance again.
4	6 4th (6) (9/1 +50%) Turbo Command		9 9/1(+50%)																															(6) Turbo Command 9/1, 3-time C&D winner. 11/2, last of 12 in a handicap at this C&D 45 days ago, ran too badly to be true. Still has a bit to find with the best of these. Good strike-rate over C&D but has been well beaten on last two starts, including over C&D.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/1 +44%) Jump The Gun		10 10/1(+44%)																															(2) Jump The Gun 10/1, Unreliable type. Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 14/1, last of 11 in a handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 22 days ago. Recent record uninspiring but has hit the frame at long odds with this jockey aboard previously. Not the force of old and doesn't win too often but Rab Havlin an interesting booking.
6th	10 6th (10) (40/1 +39%) Beautiful Dawn		40 40/1(+39%)																															(10) Beautiful Dawn 40/1, Visored for first time when sixth of 10 in a minor event at this course (8.1f, 33/1) 7 days ago. That form leaves her with a lot to find here. Disappointing for this trainer and she has a good deal to prove at present.
7th	9 7th (9) (16/1 +60%) Timebar		16 16/1(+60%)																															(9) Timebar 16/1, 14/1, eighth of 10 in a handicap at this course (8.1f) 21 days ago. That came off a 9-week absence and while he should be sharper here (with cheekpieces to boot) others are preferred. Well beaten over 1m here last time; cheekpieces on for drop in trip but others appeal more.
8th	8 8th (8) (40/1 +20%) Embarked		40 40/1(+20%)																															(8) Embarked 40/1, C&D winner. 33/1, eighth of 9 in a handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 11 days ago and is out of sorts at present. Mainly disappointing since winning over C&D in September and now 3lb badly in.

18:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Blinkers have really helped STAR PUPIL, who won with the ease his odds of 1/2 suggested he would over this trip at Chelmsford last week. With scope for further progress, a 5lb penalty may not be enough to halt him. Also carrying a 5lb penalty is Soames Forsyte, a good winner over C&D 10 days ago whose confirmed liking for this venue makes him a big threat. Profitman has been running well in defeat since his Chelmsford success in early December.

PROFITMAN was arguably unlucky not to notch another win on the AW last week and he can make amends here under the excellent handling of Billy Loughnane. Drawn in stall 1, he should get a nice toe into the race from chief danger Star Pupil (drawn in stall 2) who should race prominently and make a bold bid to defy a 5 lb penalty. Of the others, recent C&D winner Soames Forsyte should be competitive again, along with Rich Rhythm who took a step in the right direction last time.

This could go to RICH RHYTHM (nap), who ran well on his second outing following a lengthy break last time, a race that threw up winners.

1	1 1st (1) (6/1 -20%) Many A Star		6 6/1(-20%)																															(1) Many A Star 6/1, Took advantage of reduced mark when getting back to winning ways in 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) prior to a good third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 10/3) 6 days ago, running on. Respected out quickly under a penalty. Reliable sort; won over this trip at Wolverhampton and ran well under a penalty last time.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/2 +44%) Ormolulu		4.5 9/2(+44%)																															(4) Ormolulu 9/2, 4-time C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Ninth of 11 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 11/1) 9 days ago, not seen to best effect following another slow start in a steadily-run affair. No surprise to see a better showing returned to this trip. Triple C&D winner whose last two defeats have been at 7f; claims if there's a gallop on.
3	11 3rd (11) (5/1 +41%) Harry Did		5 5/1(+41%)																															(11) Harry Did 5/1, Leicester maiden winner (6f) in July. Looked unlucky not to finish closer when eighth on return at Wolverhampton (6f) in December but failed to build on that with a tongue tie fitted (retained here) when seventh of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 27 days ago. Still, not one to write off. Caught the eye at Wolverhampton but didn't get home over 7f latest; this trip could suit.
4	6 4th (6) (15/2 +17%) Mahato		7.5 15/2(+17%)																															(6) Mahato 15/2, Lightly-raced winner who ran up to best equipped with a tongue tie when second at Wolverhampton (6f) in December. Subsequent effort when ninth of 11 in handicap (17/2) at Newcastle (6f) 27 days ago was disappointing, though. Yet to add to debut (turf) success and needs to step up on last form if he's to figure.
5th	10 5th (10) (14/1 +0%) Counsel		14 14/1(+0%)																															(10) Counsel 14/1, 20/1, shaped as if better for the run after 7 months off when sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (5f) 42 days ago. Back up in trip and likely to be back to his best with that under his belt. Shaped well over inadequate 5f after seven-month break last time; claims back up in trip.
6th	9 6th (9) (13/2 +13%) Minnesota Lad		6.5 13/2(+13%)																															(9) Minnesota Lad 13/2, First run since leaving Richard Fahey when very good second of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 15/2) 34 days ago, a wider trip than his conqueror arguably the difference. Has good chance on form. Ran to best after a three-month break on yard debut last time; that form worked out.
7th	3 7th (3) (13/2 -18%) Lir Speciale		6.5 13/2(-18%)																															(3) Lir Speciale 13/2, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 5/2 and visored for 1st time, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 17 days ago, left poorly placed and noted doing his best work at the finish. Respected from his reduced mark for all a return to 7f may suit ideally. Not won since 2023 but has slipped in the weights and ran respectably here last time.
8th	12 8th (12) (16/1 -33%) Mojomaker		16 16/1(-33%)																															(12) Mojomaker 16/1, One win from 27 Flat runs. 10/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 17 days ago, having run of race. Needs a couple of these to falter. Ran well last time but not always consistent and hasn't won since 2021.
9th	2 9th (2) (16/1 +0%) Lucky Man		16 16/1(+0%)																															(2) Lucky Man 16/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Windsor in August. 22/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 53 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Others rate stronger at present. Broke losing run on turf last summer but below that level since and more needed here.
10th	7 10th (7) (14/1 -65%) Admiral D		14 14/1(-65%)																															(7) Admiral D 14/1, Ungenuine type. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 9/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 27 days ago, running on. No sure thing to be in same form here. Infrequent winner; has slipped to a handy mark and ran well at Newcastle last time; claims.
11th	5 11th (5) (28/1 -133%) Bulldog Drummond		28 28/1(-133%)																															(5) Bulldog Drummond 28/1, Very good 2¼ lengths third of 7 to Many A Star in handicap (14/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 11 days ago, running on. That was his best effort since his Newmarket success in the summer if he can build on it here. Back to form in refitted blinkers at Wolverhampton last time; wide draw not ideal here.
12th	8 12th (8) (18/1 -50%) Filly One		18 18/1(-50%)																															(8) Filly One 18/1, Won each of her 2 starts at Newcastle (6f) as a juvenile last winter. Off 12 months, shaped as if better for the run when sixth of 10 in handicap (18/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 25 days ago. Surprise where she not capable of better and interesting if market spoke in her favour. Off for a year but shaped as though retaining all ability on handicap debut last month.

18:45 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Many A Star accounted for Bulldog Drummond (third) when scoring at Wolverhampton before a good effort under a penalty at Lingfield last Saturday, which he must carry again but remains a big player. However, it could pay to side with LIR SPECIALE, who continues to slide down the ratings and is now 11lb below his last winning mark from May 2023. Judged on his near-miss off 2lb lower at Wolverhampton last month, a break and stable switch may have done Minnesota Lad some good and he could improve for that.

MINNESOTA LAD made a solid start for his new yard after 3 months off when runner-up at Wolverhampton 5 weeks ago and he's given the narrow vote to build on that here. Ormolulu, returned to sprinting, and Many A Star are others to consider, whilst low-mileage 4-y-o Filly One appeals as the type who can do better, too.

In a competitive handicap MINNESOTA LAD is the suggestion. He ran well on his first run for the yard last time, form that worked out.

1	4 1st (4) (6/1 0%) King's Crown		6 6/1(0%)																															(4) King's Crown 6/1, One win from 32 Flat runs. 3/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, good ½-length fourth of 10 to Bomb Squad in handicap at this C&D 20 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Not out of things. Good effort last time and Billy Loughnane now up but main worry is the losing run.
2	3 2nd (3) (15/2 -7%) Cooperation		7.5 15/2(-7%)																															(3) Cooperation 15/2, Well backed starting out for this yard but not seen to best effect dropped to the minimum trip when ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) in November. Hood goes back now and he's dangerously well-handicapped back from a break. Worth considering. Below best over 5f on first run for yard last time but return to this trip should suit.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/4 +55%) Bomb Squad		2.25 9/4(+55%)																															(5) Bomb Squad 9/4, Lines up here in good heart, resuming winning ways at Wolverhampton prior to following up in a C&D handicap at the start of the month. Latest second here 9 days ago confirms he's still in rude health and no reason why he won't be in the thick of things again. Continues in good form and on same mark as when short-headed just over a week ago.
4	10 4th (10) (66/1 +0%) Gypsy Nation		66 66/1(+0%)																															(10) Gypsy Nation 66/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 100/1) 17 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Hard to warm to. Inconsistent maiden who has been well beaten both starts following a long absence.
5th	1 5th (1) (14/1 -250%) Big Bard		14 14/1(-250%)																															(1) Big Bard 14/1, Settled better than on his previous start and duly capitalised on his lower all-weather mark in 8-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) 9 days ago. Ran out a pretty ready winner then and he's shortlisted under a penalty. Back to winning ways at Kempton just over a week ago; claims if as effective on Tapeta.
6th	8 6th (8) (13/2 -8%) Hello Zabeel		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(8) Hello Zabeel 13/2, C&D winner. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 4/1) 33 days ago, nearest finish. Needs to build on that here. Not won for nearly two years but has slipped in the weights and ran respectably last time.
7th	7 7th (7) (50/1 0%) Lion's Dream		50 50/1(0%)																															(7) Lion's Dream 50/1, Didn't kick on from a promising start for Mick Appleby and failed to beat a rival in 2 starts for new yard since returning from a lengthy absence. Hard to warm to. Not won since debut in 2022 and well beaten both runs for yard; best watched.
8th	2 8th (2) (4/1 +38%) Shamardia		4 4/1(+38%)																															(2) Shamardia 4/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in September. Creditable third of 12 in handicap back at that venue (6.1f) 28 days ago. Respected operating from last winning mark. Polytrack and Tapeta winner who ran respectably last time; claims, despite draw.
9th	9 9th (9) (28/1 -12%) Liv Lucky		28 28/1(-12%)																															(9) Liv Lucky 28/1, Course winner. Latest win here in September. Below form fifth of 11 in minor event at this course (5f, 10/1) 9 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back up in trip. Broke losing run over 5f here in autumn but below that level since; best watched.

19:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

BIG BARD carries a 4lb penalty for his victory at Kempton, but he has scored off a higher mark on turf in the past and the manner in which he powered home to win well last week suggests a bold follow-up bid is on the cards. Serious dangers abound in the shape of Bomb Squad, who narrowly missed out on a three-timer over C&D nine days ago, and the hat-trick seeking Back Tomorrow, who has a 5lb penalty to defy.

A host of in-form sorts in opposition with the vote in favour of BACK TOMORROW. She lines up here having landed back-to-back contests at Wolverhampton and, remaining with handicapping scope on last winter's form, she's a big player in search of the hat-trick. Kempton-scorer Big Bard, the dangerously well-treated Cooperation and thriving Bomb Squad complete the shortlist.

This can go to BOMB SQUAD, who has been in good form and is on the same mark as when touched off over C&D last week

Now tried in cheekpieces and he could have a part to play if responding well to the new headgear. Below best only previous run here but gets cheekpieces and not one to write off yet.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/10 +51%) Miggy Magic		1.1 11/10(+51%)																															(3) Miggy Magic 11/10, 11/4, creditable second of 6 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. One to consider off the same mark. Yet to win but has posted two solid efforts in blinkers for this trainer; leading claims.
3	1 3rd (1) (16/1 +11%) Lihou		16 16/1(+11%)																															(1) Lihou 16/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Leicester in August. Last of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 11 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Below form since last win on turf in August and enough to prove for now.
4	2 4th (2) (12/1 +33%) Jeans Maite		12 12/1(+33%)																															(2) Jeans Maite 12/1, Five-time C&D winner but struggling of late, finishing last of 10 when sent off at 20/1 for a C&D handicap 42 days ago. Multiple C&D winner but well beaten all three starts since last win; best watched.
5th	7 5th (7) (18/5 +35%) Nelson Gay		3.6 18/5(+35%)																															(7) Nelson Gay 18/5, Course winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 4/1) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he looks vulnerable. Has had plenty of chances since last win but won't mind the return to 5f.
6th	8 6th (8) (28/1 -100%) Ana Emaraaty		28 28/1(-100%)																															(8) Ana Emaraaty 28/1, Latest win at Newcastle in October. 5/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 49 days ago. Down in trip an blinkers back on. Needs to get back on track. Dual winner at Newcastle (1m/6f); debatable whether the drop to this trip is going to suit.

19:45 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Placed on both of his starts here since joining new connections, including a close second over C&D last week, MIGGY MAGIC sets the standard on recent form and he is taken to get off the mark at the ninth time asking. That may be at the main expense of Classy Clarets, who would hold every chance if bouncing back to the form of his success at Wolverhampton off 3lb lower last month. Castan has dropped to a mark 11lb lower than his last victory and he could be thereabouts as well.

CLASSY CLARETS was too free at Wolverhampton recently, but dropping back to the minimum trip could be just what the doctor ordered and he earns the vote. Castan will be a threat if taking well to the cheekpieces and he is second choice ahead of Nelson Gay and Miggy Magic.

The drop back to 5f and the booking of Billy Loughnane look significant for NELSON GAY and the 7yo can break a losing run.

Didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap (13/8) at Chelmsford (14f) 13 days ago, kept up to work. Has to be taken seriously. Has won his last four starts at Chelmsford; has won on Tapeta; 5lb higher but respected.

Not discounted. Won easily over C&D last month; held at Wolverhampton since but return here offers hope.

Enters calculations with a 3 lb rise for that fair enough. Bids for a four-timer after three wins at Wolverhampton; only just does enough; respected.

20:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

CARLTON has been a revelation since joining the James Owen stable, winning four on the bounce over this trip at Chelmsford, and a five-timer looks like a distinct possibility for the son of Frankel. A 5lb rise for his most recent success appears manageable, and it may be another in-form stayer in shape of Alfheim who follows him home, with the latter scoring on her last three starts at Wolverhampton. Currumbin and Val Bassett can also have a say.

CARLTON is proving to be a difficult one for the handicapper to nail, winning four times at Chelmsford since the middle of last month. He's gone up 5 lb for his latest success but the suspicion remains that there is more in the locker and he is taken to complete the five-timer. Alfheim also arrives here on the up having completed the hat-trick with two of these rivals behind at Wolverhampton recently and she is feared most. Currumbin completes the shortlist.

The choice is SWINGING LONDON who has winning form over C&D and shaped here last week as though the return to this trip would suit.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
